Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The length of service
- Whether you need disposables
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Serving staff
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we’ll set out what’s included.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- The address or venue name
- The date and rough timings
- Your menu ideas
- Diets and allergies you know about
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
What we need at the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Easy access from where we unload to the table
- Details of power and water near the bar
- Room for guests to queue along the table
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.

- Corn and flour tortillas
- Two to four fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings

Dietary needs and planning tips
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Make sure guests have somewhere to sit
After the last plate, we take the bar down and leave the spot tidy.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
How it compares

Your questions about taco bar hire in Uplees
Which station should guests use for Uplees?
Guests can use Faversham station, about 2.4 miles south-east of Uplees.
Is Uplees close to London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How does taco bar hire work?
A serving table is laid with warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and each guest builds their own. We stay to keep everything hot and stocked.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll suggest mild options.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
What’s on the menu
Guacamole
Freshly made guacamole with lime.
Hot fillings
Slow-cooked fillings kept hot on the bar, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria.
Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
What happens on the day
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t normally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. In Uplees, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is typically served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan good lighting over the station.
